the triad is important because it forces those less well equipped or resourceful to spread their forces and resources, removing one leg of the triad or tripod of force would allow those less equipped etc. to gut their own responses to such and concentrate on the other 2, there by deriving an advantage.

Interesting argument. I can understand the logic behind it but I'm curious if there is any data to support it. I just don't see a nuke attack being delivered by bombers but countries would still need to have air defences in the event of non nuclear aerial attack wouldn't they?
